GIRLS WITH CANES.


.ietr 1ork Journal.
The last craze which has struck the
Washington belle Is the carrying of
canes. A few weeks ago a young
leader in society returned from Eng
land, and the next day she surprised
her friends BY appearing in the street
with a cane, writes a correspondent.
IL wasn't the ordinary dude cane, but
nice little stick with q shepherd
crook Of hammered silver. Some
times she swung il and at other
times she struck the ground with a
sharp rap.
There is no question that this ere
ated sensation, but there is q great
deal Of difference OF opinion as 70
whether the craze viii strike in or not.
So far not more than half a dozen girls
have mustered up courage enough to
appear on the street with canes. The
probabilities are that the craze viii not
extend 20 that point where It will seri'
Ously interfere with the ordinary every
day happiness Of q modern dude.

Ny little Bo Peep is fast asleep,
And her head on my heart Is lying;

But what care | how the hours 90 by,
Whether swiftly they so or creeping
Not an hour could be but dear TO me,
When my babe on my arm Is sleep

And eSch wee toe. like = daisy in blow,

Her golden hair falls over the char,
It's treasures OF beauty unfolding;

undertook to maintain in the Cut ting affair. So long as Mexico asserts the doctrine that it!has a right to try the citizens of a for
 eign country for an alleged crime against the laws of Mexico com mitted without its territory, its position is a constant menace to all American citizens who cross the line. Mir. Bayard has made a very thorough investigation into the practices of other nations in this respect, in which he has had the assistance of the third assis- tant secretary of the state depart ment, Mir. Moore. That gentle man has recently prepared a very interesting and exhaustive mono graph, embodying the results of his researches into the codes of all the great nations of Europe. The result of his inquiry is that he found only two nations Tn all Flu rope holding the same position as Mexico. Russia and Greece have assumed the right to try foreign citizens for crimes against their laws, committed outside of their territory, but no such doctrine has been maintained by any other nation. The series of questions referred to which Mir. Bayard has prepared will be forwarded to the charge d'affairs of the United States for presentation to the Mexican government. A copy of Mir. Moore's monograph will also be transmitted, and it is hoped that the correspondence between the governments will eventually result in the Mexican government so amending its laws as to bring it in line with other civilized nations in respect to important points. It is not unlikely that the question will again be referred to in the annual report of Secre- tary Bayard as we'll as in the ap- preaching message.
